“Is this······.”
Several days passed since then.
It was about time for the Monster Wave to start, and I arrived in Amsterdam, Netherlands just in time.
One of the areas occupied by defeating the demons of Permegon.
In the last wave, it was a city that was temporarily abandoned with only civilians evacuated, and in terms of power, it was a city at the level of a ‘dealer’ that did not have the ability to defend itself against the wave.
“It’s so desolate······.”
There was no ghost town, but the canals that ran straight between the cute houses were still beautiful.
This would have been even more so if it weren’t for the fiery red gate at the end.
“Red Gate······.”
Soon, thousands of monsters will pour out from both sides of the canal.
Swoosh!
Woohoo······.
I used the portal to throw and retrieve the ball like a catch ball, and slowly waited for them to come out.
“I hope everyone is okay?”
It’s almost time for the wave to start.
Still, there was a good reason why I came to this empty city.
“It’s a kind of test.”
Pax FC has three divisions: main terminal, sub terminal, and agency.
There was a need to test the capabilities of certain regions to see if they could block the wave on their own.
Of course, in case of any crisis that may arise, we decided to contact you through Pax.
If you use the portal, you will be able to support your party immediately.
“First of all, I······.”
I was planning to stand alone against the waves here in Amsterdam and see how well my newfound luck would perform.
Unlike the ‘Meteorite Bomb’, which simply enhances durability, I used various strengthening stones to give the Meteor Ball various properties.
Fire ball.
Lightning Ball.
Even though it was granted explosive properties, since the basic property of the Uncheolgu was ‘defense’, it was limited to superficial explosions and power.
“Well······That alone is fine.”
After all, the original purpose was to use it as a mass weapon.
As I was looking at the Red Gate, which was blurry from such a distance.
“Are you coming now?”
Kaaaak!
Kagakak!
The outline of the Red Gate rotates rapidly,
The first guests, the jugglings, began to dart out.
“shipment.”
Swish!
He fired the lightning bolt straight away, and its effect was also certain.
Kaaaak!?
A projectile fired in a straight line along the center of the canal.
The zerglings that were rushing to the sides were pulled by the gravity of the cloud ball and stuck to it.
with a splash!
Soon, they fell into the water together, pulled by their weight.
Krrrr!
Jugglings struggling, caught in the current of the canal.
I additionally threw a lightning ball reinforced with the ‘electricity’ attribute into it.
Support support support!
Kagakak!
With a scream, the jugglers were happily fried.
The second guests were goblin sorcerers.
Kwe······.
They fiddled with the red beads they took from their sleeves, then waved their bristly green hands and shot fireballs at me.
of course······.
“What are you going to do with something like that······.”
I just threw a lightning ball enhanced with the ‘fire’ attribute to clearly teach them what a real ‘fireball’ is.
Kuweeeeeeek!
When the goblins engulfed in flames fell into the canal, they became Simcheongs of Indangsu······.
Krrrr······.
The third guest to appear was a bipedal wolf, Lycanthrope.
fault!
Tadah!
“Huh······?”
They were quite tricky.
It was partly because they hadn’t yet used tracking delivery, but they were able to dodge the heavy flying balls with their nimble movements.
Swish!
The lycanthropes cleverly escaped the gravity of the meteor.
He made full use of Amsterdam’s unique terrain, and slowly approached me, hiding behind walls as if he were engaging in a street fight.
Kwaaaaang!
“Oh my, what a pretty neighborhood.”
Yun Cheol-gu chased Lycan Slope through the canals and peanut houses, and as a result, he created dozens of holes all over the beautiful scenery.
Just as I was slowly getting used to the fighting style of using the Uncheolgu by repeatedly throwing and retrieving it······.
“When did so many people gather together?”
Krrrrrr!
Kwaaak!
Lycanthropes hiding between the buildings poured out all at once.
“······Is this the end of the practice?”
I’ve decided to slowly wrap it up now.
There didn’t seem to be any particular emergency as there was no other news, but the cities at the ‘agency’ level would still need help.
The last thing I took out was a cloud ball enhanced with the ‘explosion’ attribute.
Swish!
A large rocket was launched along the canal.
And then······.
“Oh, that’s right.”
I remembered that there was another ball coming back from the direction I was facing.
Two huge chunks of metal will soon collide.
Anticipating the shock that was to come, I quickly covered my ears.
And the result······.
“······uh?”
Kkaaa …
The explosive property was activated and a huge fire broke out.
Yun Cheol-gu, who had lost the concept of ‘defense’, was torn into pieces and scattered all around.
Doo doo doo doo doo!
Ping! Ping!
Keeeeek!
Caaaak!
Lycanthrope is shocked and confused.
The pieces that poured out from the crater swept down the canal like rain, turning the wolves that had gathered toward me into a beehive.
On the other hand, I was just dumbfounded.
“Why did this explode······?”
It turns out I ended up getting a range attack.
It was an unexpected result of the collision of two huge masses, one of which was a collision of two massive objects.
“Is it over already?”
When I returned to Yongsan after finishing the test in Amsterdam.
In Yongsan, the situation had already ended.
It seemed that the mobs and even the three stone golems were successfully finished off using the ‘Meteorite Bomb’.
Even at first glance, four or five artillery turrets were completely destroyed, smoking everywhere.
“······Everyone is doing a good job.”
On Hangang-daero, Avalon people with butcher knives were slaughtering the corpses of monsters.
This time too, there was loot.
Because I was able to obtain the goblin sorcerers’ crystal ball and the lycanthrope’s hide.
And finally······.
“Take it.”
Cooper handed me a large, notebook-sized piece of paper.
The plate was neatly inlaid with small jewels, and dozens of intricately drawn straight lines were centered around them.
But the board was broken in half.
As I aligned the broken piece at an angle, I asked Cooper.
“What is this?”
“This is the core of the stone golem. As you can see, it’s broken.”
“ah······.”
It was an inevitable result.
As we also confirmed in Amsterdam, the stone golem never dies unless its inner core is destroyed.
Even though the explosion blew off their limbs, they stubbornly kept themselves up by using the power of their core to pull the severed limbs back up.
It was a byproduct, an inevitable result.
I had to destroy that core to kill the stone golem.
“I guess this is going to be difficult to write?”
“I think so. What’s drawn here is also a type of circuit······ I only know how to draw dwarven-style mana circuits. It’s hard for me to understand the language of the golem creators······ I’m sorry.”
“What is it? No.”
The broken core of a stone golem.
It was something that might have been an important byproduct.
It was true that it was regrettable, but it was not something that could be forced upon someone who could not be helped.
The moment I was slowly trying to swallow the bitterness······.
“hmm?”
“Sir, let us take a look.”
While we were watching the dismantling of the by-product, Mechanic James and Subspace Engineer Brock approached us.
Then the two people who heard the whole story answered me.
“The gems embedded here and there can be replaced. I can roughly guess what the intention was behind putting them in······.”
Brock said,
“Oh, Jeong-gyeom. The circuit reacts to electricity?”
James looked confident as he pulled an electric meter out of his large front pocket.
“Really? Can you fix it?”
“This kind of puzzle is like Sudoku to us engineering students. You eat macaroni with your left hand and solve it with your right… That kind of delicious problem.”
“then······.”
First, I decided to leave the repairs to the golem core to James and Broke.
The Stone Golem was a rather difficult boss.
Because I couldn’t miss even a single by-product.
It wasn’t just the loot they gained.
As a result of the spread of meteorite bombs.
The victories were announced at various agencies, which was undeniable evidence that Pax FC’s overall strength had improved.
“It’s growing so well.”
The existing Pax FC sub-terminals are located in four locations: Busan, Beijing, New York, and Prague.
However, the three cities of Tokyo, Chicago and Paris held back the wave on their own, increasing the number of subterminals belonging to Pax FC to seven.
“The situation at the main terminal has also improved significantly······.”
Thanks to the leeway in the main terminal, forces from Yongsan and Elvenheim, who had already dealt with the wave, were able to move forward to support other agency-level regions.
This three-stage division has already been announced to all members of Pax FC.
For the people in the areas that rose to the level of sub-terminals, it was a source of pride for their achievements, and it also provided a positive stimulus for cities that are still at the agency level to become stronger.
further······.
“I almost missed that.”
That wasn’t all.
After Olympus was destroyed, all the areas they controlled became Pax FC’s.
Among the realms of Olympus, there are three places where the Red Gate occurred: Vienna, Austria, Athens, Greece, and Budapest, Hungary.
The Awakened of Olympus had been sentenced to ‘labor reform’ in Elvenheim for a long time for their crimes in Prague, but this time, they had sent them back to Europe to block the wave, with the knights of Camelot and Avalon assigned as guards.
“How did they manage to stop it? Well, it should be okay since the knights went with them.”
What flew to me as I was trying to feel at ease was······.
“Brother! Brother!”
It was Jericho with a confused expression.
“What? I told you to guard the house, so why are you crawling in······?”
“Budapest needs your help!”
“what?”
It was a strange thing.
The Knights of Avalon had been sent to Budapest.
Although they were slightly inferior to the Knights of Camelot in terms of power, they were not at a level where they could not stop the monster waves.
Moreover, other regions were all reporting victory news.
“What the hell is going on? And why are you telling me about it now?”
“I blocked it once. But······.”
“however?”
“The wave came again. It came twice at the same time, so I couldn’t handle it······.”
A strange phenomenon where the same monster wave strikes twice.
Luckily, Jericho seemed to have confirmed something.
“Hermes went to check. There was a long, pointed wall… and the wave was coming over us along the wall.”
In the end, Jericho’s story could be summarized as follows.
“Someone is sending a monster wave our way.”
“Why? Because you can’t handle it?”
“For something like that, the direction of the wall is exquisite. It’s as if it’s aiming for Budapest······.”
What is certain is that it was not a friendly action.
Maybe he’s trying to take advantage of the situation where Olympus has disappeared.
“What if that’s really the case, brother······?”
Jericho stamped his feet.
The arrogant Awakened of Olympus, steeped in a sense of chosenness.
But in my opinion, I was protecting civilians, and that’s why I sentenced them to ‘reeducation through labor’ instead of killing them.
“For now······.”
Now, Pax FC has truly taken over the territory of Olympus.
The attack on Budapest was nothing less than an act of hostility against Pax FC as a whole.
“There’s a wall here, right?”
“Yes. It’s very big······.”
Since ancient times, the answer to illegal structures has been forced demolition.
Moreover, now, a good knocking tool for conversation called ‘Uncheolgu’ has been prepared.
I was going to open up the wall that was blocking each other and grab him by the collar and ask him what his plan was.
Maybe even further······.
“It’s our turn to get the land in Eastern Europe.”
It may be time to expand our territory once more.
